After the match he was full of praise for three of his charges who played in the match.<\/p>\n<p>On Joash Onyango, he said that the tackle that earned him a red card was necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought they were fantastic. Joash had to make that tackle. I have just been in the dressing room and I told him not to feel sorry. You made that tackle. You got red carded but you took one for the team. &#8221; said Kerr.<\/p>\n<p>Kerr was also full of praise for Kahata and Philemon Otieno.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The players battled (after the team had been reduced to 10 men). Francis put in a great shift. Philemon unfortunately got injured in the first half and had to come off. But credit to my players. They had to dig deep to get that result.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Kerr Supports Migne&#8217;s call for professionalism<\/h3>\n<p>Harambee stars coach Sebastian\u00a0 Migne if furious about the lack of &#8216;professionalism\u2019 in Kenyan football after Harambee Stars Captain Victor Wanyama and 13 other players failed to show up for the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers against Ghana despite calling up a big provisional squad of 38 players.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether he supports Migne\u2019s sentiments, Kerr said: \u201cHe\u2019s got to understand that this is Kenya. This is how Kenyan football is. There are a lot of hard-working people, both in KPL and FKF. They are trying to make football here\u2026it\u2019s called professionalism. That has always been what we want. We sometimes find it hard to get.&#8221; he said to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Kerr blamed the KPL for his sides&#8217; elimination from the CAF Confederations cup<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe lost a chance in Confederation because we were tired and were demanding that games get\u00a0canceled, but it was going on deaf ears so I can understand his (Migne) issue, but that\u2019s why we are here to try and change the mentality, try to help and progress going forward,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are both football coaches and we want what\u2019s best for the country and my club. If we work together and we have a plan-we make it more professional, then kids will grow up and they will understand what\u2019s like to be a professional player and that\u2019s what we ask. Be honest, be professional.\u201d he continued<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/kerr-lauds-his-players-after-win-against-ghana\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia coach Dylan Kerr attended the match between Harambee stars and the Ghana Black stars.
